The organization Islamic State is an absolute evil, which must be fought without double standards, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said at a briefing in Ufa.
"Russia has its own opinion. This position is that the Islamic State organization is an absolute evil, it must be fought with determination, without double standards," he stressed.
He added that about 2000 Russian natives are currently part of Islamic State forces. But this includes former and current Russian citizens, who left for permanent residence in Europe.
